5 clubs whose players have rocked the 2018 World Cup

#4 Barcelona

From Liverpool to Barcelona to tearing up the World Cup simultaneously

Before you throw Lionel Messi in my face and call me names for putting Barcelona on the list, there are other players on the team as well and they have performed rather admirably. Although I agree with you on the Messi front.

Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez both have 2 goals to their names and are their side's leading goal scorers at the moment, while Ivan Rakitic has been even more solid than his time at Barcelona. He was an integral part of the Croatia team that ensured no magic from the Argentine, and Rakitic also scored at the end.

Dembele was dropped for the second game in favor of Giroud, and there is a chance he might stay there. France played a lot better with that formation, and Dembele will have to serve out the rest of the tournament as a super-sub.

Wasn't considered good enough for the last World Cup, now a national hero. Can only feel happiness for this guy, regardless of what went down. #Coutinho #BRACRC pic.twitter.com/dhPFxtSb2O

Iniesta has been as stellar as he is, but is prone to the occasional lapse in concentration (see Morocco's first goal against Spain). Sergio Busquets has had a mixed tournament as well, probably overworked from his time with Barcelona.

In the defence, Pique and Jordi Alba have pretty much carried over their form to the national side, while Yerry Mina (you probably don't remember him) scored against Poland to keep the side alive in the tournament.

Keeper Ter Stegen, unfortunately, has to warm the bench due to Manuel Neuer's arrival. Even he acknowledges that Neuer is the better keeper and no hard feelings there.
